Scott Ritter, a former weapons inspector for the United Nations, who has known Chalabi for seven years, said that Chalabi had confided to him his plans to run Iraq once America had liberated it. Ritter, who strongly opposed the war and produced a controversial documentary in 2001 asserting that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, also said that Chalabi spoke of benefitting financially from Iraq’s oil reserves, which are the second largest in the world. (Chalabi’s office denies this.)


IMO, no honest reporter has any business quoting Scott Ritter as a straight source, without noting that he has been proven to have been the recipient of payoffs from Saddam Hussein, which conceivably might explain why he flipped his story in 2001 180 degrees without explanation. What does it take to damage credibility these days? Chalabi's is solid by comparison.
